WDIV: Diversify Your Portfolio With International Dividends

2025-06-18 17:02:21 ET

I rate SPDR® S&P Global Dividend ETF (NYSE: WDIV ) a Hold, for dividend investors seeking growth and income from international stocks. Since most portfolios are slanted toward U.S. companies, a wise investor may seek to diversify their holdings using international stocks. While this exchange-traded fund (ETF) does produce a positive total return, there are better funds out there to achieve diversification and returns. The most important factors that influence my opinion of the ETF are:

• Dramatically underperforms U.S. equity dividend ETFs over time.
• Quarterly dividend yielding 4.11%.
• Seeks to match the performance of the S&P Global Dividend Aristocrats Index
• Has a low expense ratio of 0.40%
• Small fund with net assets of $207.86.
